Audits and evaluations

The Office of Audit and Evaluation conducts audits and evaluations of departmental programs, processes, and services. The resulting reports provide credible, timely, neutral evidence to support government accountability and decision-making on policy, programs, and management of how funds are spent. Audit and evaluation reports make recommendations for improvement, which are to be implemented in a timely manner.
